The Steps

The Steps of Nexus Prayer

Whether you pray the Nexus Prayer over the span of five minutes or one hour, the method is the same. The tabbed “steps” under “The Prayer” menu at the top of this page give more detailed instruction, but all you need to do to get started is to set aside the time to just “be” with God. (We were, after all, originally designed to be human be-ings.) So, find a quiet spot, close your eyes, and gently repeat the prayer of Psalm 46:10 in reverse order:

Let go, and let God.”

Then, simply listen to God.

When we are still, we are letting go of all of our burdens, problems, worries, fears, anxiety, stress, memories, etc… We are letting go – uploading, as it were – all of our concerns to God.

And as we practice just “be-ing” with God, we are allowing God the quality, one-on-one time to “download” into our mind, heart, spirit, and soul all that HE believes we need.

To use a well-known, popular phrase, we are to: “Let go, and let God.”

PSALM 46

“God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. |Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; |Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah. | There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High. |God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early. |The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted. |The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. |Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth. |He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire. |Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. | The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah. “

About Nexus Prayer

Deeply rooted in Psalm 46:10, nexus prayer is the biblically-based, contemplative prayer that increases the awareness of God’s presence in our lives, while also helping us to better hear His “still, small voice” in a busy and noisy world.

Through the stilling of our soul, the quieting of our mind, the letting go of our problems, and the total surrendering of our will to God, nexus prayer leads us to “the peace of God that passes all understanding.”
